<p>They had laid off all the good people doing workstations by then,
I think they outsourced design/production to ODMs by that time.
MIP processors were long in the tooth in 1999, never mind 2007.</p>
<p>Having been at SGI from 1995-2001, I can tell you the reason MIPS
sucked wind at that point, was the good ship Itanic sunk Alien and
Beast processors. Those design teams left, and we didn't have
much for post R10k, other than respins and shrinks of R10k. Which
were renamed R12k, R14k ...</p>
<p>Beast would have been relevant (near EOL though) in 2007. <br>

<p>Between 2003 and 2007, I worked with a lot of O2s, Octanes, an
8-way Origin 350, and even a Tezro. I don't miss those days. <br>
</p>
<p>I always felt like the design of their workstations was done by
the same people who design Playskool toys rather than
professional hardware. <br>

Seriously. I have an Indy and an Octane2 laying around. That’s
not even an SGI. :-P

Hello,<br>

I don't personally have such myself but anything SGI
even with today's<br>
exotics Ians about the most knowledgable I know of

seriously dying out within this sector, I hazard a
guess your SM board<br>
would be considered quite new compared to other
